Given the enormous environmental impact of creating, storing and tracking bitcoins I have zero respect for anyone who gets involved with them. In fact it highlights everything that is wrong with the human species and what they are doing to the planet.

Another admission of ignorance on my part was how high the charges were for managing my pension fund. I switched the whole thing to similar funds but much cheaper management fees. Should have done it years ago but had no idea, too busy working and foolishly thinking financial advisors weren't on...

I must have got a good one. True they can't offer advice but not limited in what they can say. In my case they explained many things eg 25% tax free up front or 25% each withdrawal. Tax implications of taking larger amounts. Difference between annuity and SIPP. Limits on payments into...

Book a free pensionwise appointment. They'll answer any questions you've got and tell you things you didn't know.

I have a bowl of muesli in the morning. To this I add half a desert spoon of rosehip flour/powder (available on Amazon in 1kg bags). I also add a small amount of turmeric powder. Stir it in dry and add milk. You can buy similar supplements in capsules, but it's just the same powder with 20x...

Unusually cold last night. Dropped from 20c to 17c in four hours. Normally would take 7 hours to drop to that on average winter night. 60s bungalow, double glazed etc

Try turning pump speed down, it may be cavitation creating air.

Early Eighties I was a teenage whiz with computers and got a nice advance on some software I wrote. I nearly got an Aston Martin V8 Vantage. I thought they were gorgeous. Saw one at a classic car show the other day, and boy they still get me excited like not many other cars (AC Cobra, GT40)...

As a diyer I've got a mig welder. It uses flux core. It does spark like hell with molten blobs going here and there so no way I'd do it in a house. My welds look rough as f but it's ok for repairing bits that aren't in view for their beauty. It will blow thin metal apart. I wear a leather apron...

I got a notification on this thread on my gmail account. header details: spf=pass (google.com: domain of [email protected] designates xxxxxx as permitted sender) dmarc=pass

Good idea, I'll watch the thread and report back (gmail).

Personally I use Mailjet as a mail sender (SMTP service). Works well for me, and it has reporting on bounces etc.

People use a multitude of email providers to receive email. Some providers are getting hotter by the day on spam and phishing attempts. One way they do this is by checking DKIM and DMARK and SPF records on the sender's dns records. Therefore you will see some people getting emails and some not...

You'll note that under the dns tab on cloudflare the mx record will say 'dns only' whereas the hosting records say proxied. Thus the mail service is unaffected.

I doubt you have set things up so cloudflare is providing your email service. I expect you merely imported the settings you had. This means the dns mx records point to the same place as before (your email provider). Therefore, you can raise a support ticket with your email host as normal...
